Internship Programme

Our story of the Brand Innovation Intern Programme has been successful in empowering South Africa youth for over 14 years. 

The Intern Programme was formed to solve the need for young people to learn basic business skills. Since we first opened our doors 14 years ago, we have taken between 5 and 10 paid interns under our wing each year.

Our intention is to empower young people to believe in themselves, to gain an excellent opportunity to experience the working environment in a very real and authentic way. Our philosophy is to provide youth employment, and to be a platform for the development and empowerment of young people.

The Brand Innovation Internship Programme is designed to provide a structured learning environment for interns. It combines a theory-based component with real-world work experience. Exposure to and participation in an array of practical components of a business from sales, media to marketing. As an intern at Brand Innovation, you will learn professional business etiquette and skills applicable to the rest of your working life.

The internship is offered to students who are currently and/or completing a degree, technical qualification or diploma. We also provide internships for students who have completed Matric.

We aim to employ interns beyond their internship. The programme also assists you in finding work after the internship ends if you do not receive a position with us, our aim is to guide you towards your future career aspirations and goals.
